Distant Survivors

Conceived and adapted for the stage by director June Prager, Distant Survivors is based on poetry by William Heyen. The time is 1990 as an American of German descent visits Germany, where he is haunted by memories and phantoms of a Nazi soldier and Jewish Holocaust survivors. This work confronts the ignorance, bigotry, and brutality that fueled the Holocaust and the rising chorus of racial hate rhetoric of today.
